Nintendo News | Revolution to Launch with 20 Games? [news]

From nintendo I am assuming

1)Mario 128 if they were not bullshitting about it
2)Proabably SSBR as it has a large team and was in devlopment the longest
3)Zelda TP, it will be counted as a revo game.
4) Wario Ware probably
3 new casual games like what the DS did with nitendogs etc.

There'll probably be a load of boring rubbish like fly-swatting games, as well as a nice handfull of proper games.

Smash Brothers will most probably not be a launch title.
They've only assigned a director to it late last year who said they were just starting the development of it.

Now, I just wonder what the new Tokyo team behind Jungle Beat is up to.

And why is everyone pleading for a Kid Icarus sequel? Was it really such a Great game? It didn't sell very well, that's for sure, but I guess that's not a valid point.

Most of my childhood memories were with Metroid NES and Kid Icarus, It took me forever to beat the games, great ideas, if they can do what they did to Metroid to Kid icarus, Pit will be just as well known Samus!
And how cool were the eggplant wizards! lol

Ps: A revo Bow & arrow would be kind of cool.

I agree, a Kid Icarus update with a much darker tone could propel it up to the AAA Nintendo franchise. Such an innovative game and such a great subject to make games on, shocked there hasn't been an update yet.

Should we consider the possibility of an Opera package being sold? Its counted as software on the DS and having full internet functionality on the Rev would give it a small boost over the rival platforms.

I agree, it'd certainly work well and offer something genuinly unique.

I'd rather have Opera downloaded to memory via the net or off a disc, rather than having to put a disc in every time. It would make much more sense, maybe that's how it will work...

never played Kid Icarus... also Samus isn't that well known at all.

i dont see why people are knocking out lists of Nintendos greatest games for the release..?

mario & zelda & metroid and smashbros? i think not, then what are they going to do, think about it if they release all there good games first after a few months there will be nothing new going for it.

they will probably release one killer ap, then stretch the others out over a few years, creating release dayes, then pushing them back a few months. that way the nintendo loyal, will be in constant anticipation.

most probably.

I'm thinking maybe Metroid will be a launch title, along with either a new franchise and/or some kind of mini game collection (eg Wario Ware or Mario Party). They could show off a Mario game at E3 as well which will be ready for launch, but I'm not so sure.

Then something like SSB within 6 months of launch, and games like Pikmin 3 and Mario out within a year. They'll probably wait a while for a proper Zelda game designed for the Revolution.

Doubt we'll see a fly swatting type games being sold as one off pakages, wario ware will probably get all that considering there was a flyswating game in the DS version..

Possibly see Metroid Prime 3 i mean they started on that way back didn't they and they even had the MP2 tech demo using the controller.

There probably will be some sorta non gamer type game there aswell, possibly being the new Miyamoto IP.

Well, we know that MP3 and SSB are in development, and LoZ:TP can also count because of it's 'bonus Revo related fearures'. And then there's the Mario 128 saga that's been going on for far too long.

what im saying is, it would be stupid to release these games all at once. sure release metroid or smash bros, then gently leak the franchise games out of the first year or so.*

i think that Nintendo have shot themselves in the foot when it comes to Zelda, seeing as we should have been enjoying it on our cubes 6 months ago, and now they have pushed it back by nearly a year to coincide with the release of the Rev. it would of been an amazing cube game, and hopefully still will be, but i feel like they are trying to turn it into an amazing rev title aswell somehow, or atleast make the public beleive that.

i just have fears that it will be a half arsed attempt at a revo title, thus tainting the overall quality of the title.

like you wont be able to do certain things on the cube version, (spoiling the game), but when you play it on the Rev, its not as great as you imagined it to be. (spoiling the game even more)

* lets not forget, there is a massive libary of games to download, which is basically why i am getting the console in the first place. the chance to play games i havent played in years, and also games i never got the chance to play is incredible. this will keep me happy for years.

Star GIVE!

Buddah is absolutely right, i think most of nintendo's launch software will actually be new IPs, i expect to see a lot of new IPs from nintendo when its time for the revolution as the revolution should make games totally different in most senses which would make a few current IPs feel a bit strange.

OMG maybe waverace RS could be on the list!!!! cool

Didnt i say that..

Buddah is absolutely right, Nintendo like to stretch their games out. Look at the DS, Mario Kart in Nov, Animal Crossing in March, Metroid In May, New Super Mario Bros in July Etc etc. I think the same thing would happen with the revo but also i dont want it to. I think A killer line up would be Mario,Zelda, Metroid. Perhaps push Smash Bros back a bit. Still if Nintendo give us all that then what do we wait for......

Also does anyone else remeber seeing DK racing video for the Gamecube. I think it was being developed by Rare but the project obviously dropped

Donkey Kong Racing

Maybe it could be revived for the Revo under Namco's helm

Well it all depends on the actual launch date of the console because this is Nintendo we are talking about. If its released during the Summer then we'll see one killer app and a few cheapy but good titles. If its released for Christmas expect every single game Nintendo are working on, finished or not.

Games i think they are gonna be on launch window...

01 Fifa 2007
02 Madden 2007
03 Spiderman 3
04 Superman Returns
05 Some Racing Game
06 Monkey Ball Revolution
07 Random Kidz movie licence
08 Tony Hawks Game
09 Red Steel (posibly)
10 Final Fantasy CC
11 Luigi's mansion 2 of some sort
12 Smash Bros 3
13 Mario Party (i think) 8
14 Nintendo Penant Chase Ball
15 Kirby Revo
16 Wave Race
17 Nintendo New IP
18 Generic Fighting game
20 Some new puzzle game
21 Some golf game

I think we will see more games than those at e3 but most of them are gonna be in development for a while like:

Metroid prime 3
Super Mario
Pilot wings (maybe)
1080
Another new IP
Some new RPG (i hope)
More FPSs
An Splinter Cell
More Puzzle games

And other games.

basically all of them are sequels.

Probably means withen the first 4 months.

I expect Smash Brothers, Crystal Cronicals, and Wario Ware for sure.

Not sure about Metroid 3...hope they take their time with that one.

Personaly, Id also like Pikmen 3

"GC launch line-up, but it was awful. Monkey Ball was the saving grace."

Star Wars: Rogue Leader?

oh, also, I have been saying since long before we seen the revolution controller "Donkey Kongductor" would be a early game.

That name, and what it might entail for a game, is frigging ace.

I totally forgot about Penchant Chase Baseball - I definitely see that as a launch title, being resurrected.

WOOOOOOOO!! but this means that i really need to get myself a summer job. coz i'll need at least 4 games with my REVO.

My poor, poor bank balance

Edit.

Oh my, how awesome that would be. Have a star

The problem is that with people's suggestions, they can only really suggest sequels, as they have no idea what a new game could be. (Donkey Kongductor sounds good fun though! Maybe Nintendo will go crazy and forget to add DK to the game though . Damn, why do people buy games just because of the franchise name!? It just encourages sequels!)
